Chapter 159: The Fifth Possibility
"Ah!!h
Old Wu's hand retracted violently like an electric shock, and the cabinet door closed again.
His sudden scream startled all three unsuspecting people in the room.
Xu Minghao exhaled and said, "My uncle, why are you so surprised? Scared the hell out of me! ”
Lao Wu pointed to the wardrobe in the freezer with a frightened face: "In the cupboard, in the cupboard, there is ...... There was ......"
Lin Chu's heart suddenly tightened, and he had a very bad premonition.
Hu Lai asked anxiously: "Uncle Wu, what do you want to say?" ”
At this time, Lin Chu had already walked straight over and stretched out his hand to open the door of the wardrobe.
At that moment, his scalp suddenly tingled, and his whole body seemed to be hit by a cold current, and goosebumps stood up.
Because in the closet, there is a woman lying there!
The woman's face was very white and shiny like wax, and she was also wearing a white shroud, with her hands crossed on her abdomen, her eyes closed, and her expression looked cold and serene.
Xu Minghao and Hu Lai saw that Lin Chu's expression was wrong, and they came over one after another, and the two of them were also shocked.
Scary things are scary, but those weird things that are extremely scary are often even more scary.
Xu Minghao said tremblingly: "What...... How could there suddenly be an extra wax man? ”
Hu Lai was also extremely puzzled: "These two wax figures, in addition to their different appearances, even the clothes they wear and the posture they lie in the cabinet are exactly the same, what is going on?" Which one is the wax figure made by Du Lao? ”
Lin Chu turned his head to look at the long box outside the freezer: "Obviously, this one we summoned back with the Qingling Lantern is the wax man originally made by Du Lao." ”
Hu Lai asked: "What's the matter with this one in the closet?" When did it run in on its own? And who did it? ”
Lin Chu looked at Lao Wu and asked, "Uncle Wu, who put this wax man in?" ”
Lao Wu said with blank eyes: "I really don't know this, I don't know at all." ”
Xu Minghao asked, "Is there anyone else besides you who has the key to this room and freezer?" ”
Lao Wu said: "Anyway, in the security team, only I have the key, as for who has the department above, then I don't know." ”
Lin Chu asked, "Uncle Wu, is there monitoring in this warehouse?" ”
Lao Wu shook his head: "No." Because this warehouse is not a place to put any valuables, it is to pile up some labor sundries, so it has not been monitored. ”
Hu Lai complained: "You should have installed surveillance earlier!" ”
The wax man was gone, and they were distressed, well, now that the wax man is back, but there is a strange extra one, and they are also distressed.
Lao Wu said: "But anyway, now that we have finally found the real wax man, let's replace this wax man of unknown origin for the time being." ”
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Chu suddenly stopped Lao Wu, who was about to get started.
Because he found that when Lao Wu's hand was close to the wax man's forehead, the dark shadow formed by the light appeared on the wax man's forehead, and a subtle layer appeared on the wax man's forehead!
This discovery puzzled Lin Chu.
Why is this strange phenomenon happening?
Is it because waxes have different refractive indexes?
But with the naked eye, it's hard to see what's wrong.
"Minghao, go and turn off the lights in this house."
"Oh, good!"
Although Xu Minghao didn't know what Lin Chu wanted to do, he immediately went to the door and pressed the switch.
The entire small storeroom was immediately plunged into darkness where the fingers could not be reached.
Lin Chu took out his phone and turned on the bright camera flash.
Hu Lai and Lao Wu carefully watched Lin Chu's every move, and they were very confused.
Lin Chu moved the flash of his mobile phone to the wax man's forehead, and immediately gasped!
In this wax man of unknown origin,
There really is one person!
In the dark, under the illumination of strong lights, there was an obvious layering under the forehead of the wax man, which was the color of normal people's skin, and it was extremely obvious against the snow-white wax.
When the three people on the side saw this scene, they were all stunned.
Lin Chu asked Xu Minghao to hold his mobile phone, he took out a small fruit knife, and carefully scraped the ash off the girl's forehead.
After opening a hole, the solidified white wax was then deducted piece by piece.
The pale face of a young woman appeared before their eyes.
Lao Wu suddenly sat down on the ground.
Originally, it was just an important wax man who was lost, and at most he lost his current job, but now that there is a real corpse, he will have to suffer a lawsuit.
Lin Chu took back his mobile phone and asked Xu Minghao to turn on the lights.
Hu Lai was stunned, looked at the closet, and said in despair: "It's over!" Finished! This time it's really a fake female corpse! ”
Lao Wu wiped his tears and said sadly: "What kind of person is so bad at killing a thousand knives, he actually killed someone and hid the body here, now I really jumped into the Yellow River and can't wash it......"
He then stood up and said excitedly to the three of them: "You three must help me testify, this female corpse has nothing to do with me!" ”
Hu Lai said helplessly: "Uncle Wu, it's not you now, even we are suspects and can't get out of it." ”
"Who said she was dead?"
Lin Chu's words made the two of them suddenly ignite hope.
Lao Wu hurriedly got up from the ground and looked at Lin Chu in surprise: "This ...... This girl is not dead? ”
Lin Chu stood aside: "You guys come and touch it yourself." ”
Lao Wu trembled and stretched out his hand to the girl's forehead, and said excitedly: "There is body temperature!" She still has a body temperature! She's not dead yet! ”
"Let me see it too!"
Hu Lai also took his temperature and made sure that the girl was still alive, and a big stone in his heart was finally put down.
"Lao Hu, Ming Hao, help carry her out."
Lin Chu joined hands with the two of them, temporarily lifted the girl out of the closet of the freezer, and then put the real wax girl in the long box outside back into the closet.
Hu looked at the girl on the ground and asked, "Lao Lin, what should I do with this person?" Call the police first, or send you to the hospital first? ”
Lin Chu shook his head: "You can't call the police, you can't send it to the hospital." ”
Hu Lai asked, "Then how will she deal with it?" ”
Lin Chu's gaze turned around on the field, and finally fell on Lao Wu: "Uncle Wu, who is at home in your family?" ”
"My mother is in the hospital, my son is living in school, and my wife is at home."
"Okay, this girl will let you go to your house for the time being, and ask your lover to help take care of it for the time being."
"Huh?" Lao Wu was surprised, "I don't know this girl, how can you let me go?" I think it's better to call the police. ”
Lin Chu said step by step: "Have you thought about the consequences of calling the police? This girl was made into a wax figure by some ill-intentioned villain, and quietly placed here with you, don't you think that villain is the person next to you? ”
"As soon as you call the police now, the police come to investigate, there is nothing evidence in surveillance, and you won't be able to find the gangster for a while, but the gangster is by your side again, aren't you afraid that he will secretly retaliate against you?"
When Lao Wu heard this, he immediately said in fear: "You are right......
Lin Chu continued: "So the best way now is to pretend that you don't know anything, and you must not startle the snake, I promise you, I will definitely find out that villain as soon as possible!" ”
Lao Wu believed Lin Chu, after all, he said that he would get the wax man back within three days, and he really would get the wax man back within three days, but he had other worries in his heart.
He glanced at the girl who had been moved into the long box outside by Xu Minghao and Hu Lai and said, "But the way she is now, you don't send her to the hospital, but to my house, is her body really fine?" ”
Lin Chu said: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, her body is fine, I will be responsible for finding a way to wake her up." ”
Lao Wu thought about it for a while before agreeing: "Okay...... That's it. ”
It's not early, and in a while, it's time for the building's early morning security guards.
So Lin Chu didn't stay any longer, and carried the long box containing the girl back to the car.
Lao Wu can drive and also has a driver's license.
So Lin Chu asked him to drive to his house alone.
He was guarding the long box with Hu Lai and Xu Minghao in the back box.
Outside the car, the night was not so dark.
The city is about to usher in a new day.
But on the dark truck, not only Lao Wu, who was driving, but also Lin Chu and the three of them sitting on the ground around the long box in the cargo box, their mood was still shrouded in gloom.
Hu Lai asked: "Lao Lin, you said that this is good, what's the matter with this girl?" Which bastard made her into a wax figure and secretly put her in the cupboard? ”
Lin Chu asked rhetorically, "You first try to think about what the murderer's motive is?" ”
Hu Lai pondered, "Does he want this girl to replace the wax man and make her a sacrifice to the evil spirits of the mansion tonight?" ”
Lin Chu nodded: "I think the murderer must have been frightened." ”
Xu Minghao was puzzled: "Why was the murderer also frightened?" ”
Hu said: "Cousin, you are so stupid! Think about it, the murderer originally wanted to replace the wax man with this girl, but when he found that the cabinet was empty and the wax man was gone, would he be surprised? ”
Xu Minghao suddenly realized: "Oh! I see! But why did the murderer do it? What's in it for him to do that? ”
Hu Lai couldn't answer this question, so he had to look at Lin Chu.
"Two possibilities!"
Lin Chu said that the first one may be to borrow a knife to kill people.
The murderer has a blood feud with this girl, and he knows the haunted legend of Changtong Building, so he wants to use the fierce spirit in the building to kill this girl.
But the odds are almost remote.
First of all, the girl must be stunned, covered with wax, and ensure that she does not die before the 17th day of the lunar month.
In addition, he had to hide from the world and put the girl who made the wax man into the underground warehouse of the mansion and exchange it with the real wax man sacrifice......
This process is far more complicated and cumbersome than directly killing a person and destroying the body.
Unless the murderer has a problem with his brain, he basically won't choose this hellish difficulty of killing with a knife.
Hu Lai asked: "What about the second possibility?" ”
Lin Chu asked with a solemn face: "Do you remember that we summarized several possibilities for the trickery of Changtong Mansion in the park before?" ”
"I remember!"
Xu Minghao immediately said backwards: "First, there are ghosts in the building. Second, there is a problem with the feng shui of the building. Third, the building has both ghosts and feng shui problems. Fourth, man-made. ”
Lin Chu sighed: "Maybe there is a fifth possibility now, the mansion has both ghosts and feng shui problems, and all this is still a human conspiracy!" ”
Hu Lai immediately reacted: "So the murderer used this girl to make a wax man and replace the real wax man sacrifice, is it part of this conspiracy?" ”
Lin Chu nodded and said heavily: "I suspect that the wax people of previous years were all replaced by this method unknowingly. ”
Xu Minghao shuddered violently: "Then this is too terrible!" It seems that every year with wax people to sacrifice ghosts for peace, in fact, on the 17th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, there is still a living girl who died! ”
Hu Lai asked: "Lao Lin, do you want to find out?" ”
Lin Chu nodded: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, Changtong Mansion is actually the property of Zhang Qing's family. Zhang Qing, she is the third lady of the Zhang family of Greentown Real Estate. ”
Xu Minghao was very shocked: "It turns out that the proprietress of Xianquanju is actually the third lady of the Zhang family, no wonder she is so domineering!" ”
Hu Lai didn't know much about the situation in Shencheng, and he didn't know what Greentown Real Estate meant in Shencheng for the time being, so he didn't have such a big reaction from Xu Minghao.
It's just clear why Lin Chu decided to investigate one of the important reasons for this strange matter.
And another important reason is naturally the indelible sense of justice in Lin Chu's soul.
